Kenneth G. Robinson was born on December 26, 1967 and began playing trumpet at age 12. Robinson grew up on the east side of Detroit a few blocks from St. Raymond Catholic Church where Lawrence Przybysz (on this album) was the Organist and Minister of Music. At age 15, Robinson's good friend, Robert Slowik, introduced Robinson to Przybysz. After hearing recordings of Maurice Andre, Robinson trained in his parents' living room by practicing along with the Andre recordings. Kenneth Robinson attended Interlochen Music Camp in the summers during his high school years. In the spring of 1991, he met and studied with his boyhood hero, Maurice Andre, at the New York Brass Conference.
